I've been trying to figure out who you were thinking of. It just occurs to me that you might have meant New Jersey rather than Massachusetts, and were referring to Jim McGreevey, the former governor. If so, he didn't resign for being gay; he resigned because he had appointed his lover to a government job, among other questionable actions. He did come out in his resignation speech, but the quasi-nepotism issue would have been the same had he been straight and his lover a woman. New Jerseyans were a lot more upset by the nepotism and other issues than they were by his sexual preference (although more surprised by the latter). (What precipitated his resignation was that his by-then-former lover had threatened to sue him for sexual harassment, after having resigned and then demanded to have his job back, which McGreevey refused. His former lover never pursued the lawsuit.) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
